Telson CNF

Loki Telson CNF delivers significant speed, fitting its OFF+ classification. The CNF fiber layers contribute to a high rebound effect, enabling powerful loops and fast counter-attacks. While very fast, it manages this pace without feeling overly harsh, providing a responsive platform for aggressive play.

For an offensive blade, the Telson CNF offers remarkable control. The CNF technology aids in ball retention and dampens vibration, which translates to precise touch in the short game and confidence during fast rallies. Players find it provides controlled power, allowing for aggressive shots without sacrificing placement.

Despite its composite layers, the blade retains a distinctly woody and direct feel. The Koto outer ply provides a crisp, medium-hard touch that offers excellent feedback on both soft touches and powerful drives, contributing to great ball sensation.

The combination of the Koto outer ply and the elastic CNF layers promotes a medium-high throw angle. This is ideal for generating heavy, arcing topspin loops and effective drives in an offensive playstyle.

A key benefit of the CNF technology is improved ball retention. This longer dwell time allows players to impart heavy spin more effectively and provides a greater sense of control during looping and brushing strokes.

The blade offers a balanced flexibility. The CNF layers add a degree of elasticity compared to a stiff carbon blade, providing a catapult effect for power while maintaining enough directness for precise shot-making.

The CNF fibers effectively dampen vibrations, resulting in a comfortable and stable feel on impact. This reduction helps create a larger perceived sweet spot and reduces harshness, even on off-center hits.

Craftsmanship on the Telson CNF is consistently praised. The blade features excellent finishing with smooth, well-polished surfaces, and the integration of the CNF fibers with the wood plies feels professional and durable. It's a well-made tool built for serious play.
